REPUBLICA.CO.ID, Gunmen fight against security forces at a midwifery training center in Jalalabad city (28/7). The attack lasted several hours and killed three staff members.
According to a Reuters report (29/7), one of the attackers was killed early in the operation after detonating a suicide bomber. "But the second, lasted several hours before being killed," said local government spokesman Attaullah Khogyani.
Khogyani said that one driver and two security guards were killed and seven others injured. But another 63 people, almost all of them women, were saved unharmed from the complex containing training facilities and a student residence.
As a result of the attacks, gunshots and sporadic shooting were heard for most of the day.
The militant group of the Islamic State claims responsibility for most of the attacks. But in the Nangarhar region, not only ISIS is active but also the Taliban. "It is unclear why the attackers targeted the establishment, which is mainly occupied by midwifery educators from the eastern province of Nuristan," Khogyani said.
